Carolyn Harding with Morgan Harper, Democratic candidate running to represent Ohio in the United States Senate.
Morgan Harper was born at The Ohio State University Hospital, living in a foster home for the first 9 months of her life before being adopted and raised on the east side of Columbus by a Public Schools teacher. After receiving financial aid with help from the Ron Brown Scholar Program, Morgan went on to graduate from Tufts (BA), Princeton (MA) and Stanford (JD). After graduating, Morgan clerked at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, worked as a paralegal at the Federal Trade Commission, and served as a Senior Advisor at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) under the Obama Administration protecting consumers against predatory corporations.
Most recently, Morgan was Director of Policy & Advocacy at the American Economic Liberties Project and also co-founded Columbus Stand Up! a grassroots community organization that mobilized volunteers across Central Ohio in response to the pandemic and 2020 election.
Morgan is now running to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate to get political and economic power back on the side of working people.
